What is the difference between hard g and soft g?

The hard G makes almost like a K sound, but in a voiced sound or a voiced K, which is the general pronunciation and soft G makes a J sound. For the hard and soft consonants, we use C and G and these consonants sound similar but the C is the voiceless consonant while the G is the voiced consonant. If the G is followed by an E, I or Y, then it'll soften and make a J sound. If the G is followed by any other letters or at the word ending, then it'll remain hard.
